Putting JUST L-Tuned Spring on Stock GS300
I was looking to grab the whole L-Tuned Suspension on here, but thats easier said than done.
Available now is just a set of the L-Tuned springs.
Simple question: Can I take these springs and have them swapped out with my stock setup and not have any issues. Stock shocks would remain.
From searching most recommend replacing the whole setup at once, but thats not going to happen, so it would be just the springs, or nothing.

Actually my bad..they're $270 shipped:

I've bought from these guys before and they're the real deal. They're brand new.
Riding around on lowered springs with worn out shocks will give you more float and bouncing.

The reason why I want L-TUNED instead of Tanabe NF210 is the camber setting issue. Since Tanabe drop around 1.5", I am kind of worry the camber won't be able to set back to OEM specs.

You'll only run into camber problem if you're around 2" or lower. If you max out the camber adjustment, you should be able to get the camber within oem spec, if not very close to it. Our cars come with negative camber from the factory anyways. Have your toe adjusted properly and you shouldn't see any abnormal tire wear. Rotate your tires periodically like you should and you'll preserve the tire's life. it's not even worth trying to save that extra little degree of camber with the l-tuneds, unless you're willing to have larger front wheel gaps than the rear, plus a bit harsher ride.

Like GSteg very well stated, camber should not be an issue up to a 2+ inch drop. I have my GS300 on Tein CS's dropped as low as it will go and have no camber issues. As a matter of fact, my alignment range always keeps me within spec. Upgraded/larger wheels do come into effect but with the NF210's and some KYB's trust me, you will be ECSTATIC with the look, ride, and feel of this auto!!
